M416 trailer walk around

This video is the much asked for and long awaited walk around of my M416 trailer Overland build. Just like my Jeep this trailer will most likely always be in a state of evolution and upgrades to meet my needs. Here you will be able to see how I took a 1968 M416 trailer and modified it for Overland use. Be sure to check out the other videos to seethe before during and after process.
I am not sponsored by these companies but here is a list of the major components:
many components were available through Amazon

Awesome build! Question: I bought one that already had a RTT instants on welded on brackets that's higher than your brackets, but the RTT is so about 8-10" too low for the annex. Do you have any issues with the RTT being so low?

[@jerroldshelton9367]

I've had an M-416 since ''87. Vehicles that pulled it have come and gone but the little trailer remains. I'm curious as to why you ditched the OEM lunette ring arrangement in favor of this aftermarket hitch system? I've taken mine across some moderately difficult trails, like the Rubicon, and never had any problems with the OEM set-up mated to a pintle hook on my vehicle, in terms of articulation or anything else, hence the curiosity over your hitch arrangement.

Hey really like your trailer, just picked up a 1964 M416 myself and have been working on getting it ready for a camping trip. I really like your spare tire mount. Is it a swing arm? Do you have more info on what you did to make it work with the trailer?

[@jamescanady8156]

What size ammo can is that? I've been looking for these but I can't narrow it down.

[@thomasbrustad5596]

Really nice set up. I like it. Where did ya pick up the M416?

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

I found it through Marketplace in Dayton Ohio about 4 hours SE of me.

[@donaldpreston8256]

Could you please publish a list of the parts suppliers. Thank you

[@edwhite4992]

Nice

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Thanks

[@LifeSurfingDude]

awesome work!

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Thank you!

[@kenk1871]

The Coleman fuel canisters don’t get too hot with the sun beating down on that black tube? That’s a sweet setup, really cool.

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Thank you. They do not get hot at all. Even in direct sun they are only warm to the touch, not hot. I wondered the same thing and thought I would change things if needed but made it through the summer with no issue.

[@allanperry6507]

Only thing is that nice fire 🔥 pit looks like it could disappear .Its not locked on ?? 🤔🤘🇨🇦

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Thanks. There is a cable bike lock that keeps honest people honest. Nothing is unfortunately theft proof.

[@xbpbat21x]

No concerns with your control panel being exposed to the elements? Nice trailer, BTW! Thought about this, but decided to order one instead...

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

The control panel is waterproof so no issues . Of course the proof will be over time but thus far no issues what so ever. Thanks for watching.

[@kg1211]

Great job!!! cant wait to see whats next!!

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Thanks !🤘💀🤘 Headed to Indiana next weekend for a few days on the river. Once I get the diesel heater built for it I plan to utilize it all year long!

[@bigcountrygiant1796]

Very nice, Everything tucked away and secured - solid build! 👍

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback. 🤘💀🤘

[@nathanpopejr9708]

Hey Brother, good job on your M416.

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Thank you!!

[@oscarpatino330]

Very Nice....setup, Congrats!

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Thank you so much!

[@seanfenner5960]

What size tires are you running on the trailer. Trying to figure out what size tires I can run with stock fenders on my M416. Thanks.

[@hydrostream78]

Do you have specs on the propane cylinder tube/holder? I need to build one! Nice trailer.

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Thank you! You can buy the kit on amazon. It uses 4" pvc pipe cut to length. Here is the link to the parts... www.amazon.com/dp/B005G2RY6U/?ref=exp_greybeard_overland_dp_vv_d

[@hydrostream78]

Thanks for the reply!

[@yitbosadventures63]

Your trickle Charger how did you set that up? Nice Rig!!!

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Thank you!... it is a 2 amp battery tender / trickle charger. It auto regulates to keep the battery fully charged when it is in storage. I have a shorepower plug in the box and the charger is direct to it. I am adding a 100w solar panel as well that will assist in keeping the battery topped off when the trailer is deployed.

[@yitbosadventures63]

@@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES shore power plug is connected to the battery tender gotcha.

[@Dinonuggets90]

How is that compact camping tower holding up?

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

They are great! Very sturdy design. I had them powder coated so would expect they will hood up for years!!

[@OrangeCrushWillysTruckprojectR]

What did you use for the cross bars? I just picked up a set of the towers to mount my tent .also at what length did you make yours ? Awesome build !!!

[@daemonjeep]

From a fellow Ohioan, nice build! Getting ready to do a M101A1 myself......

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Thanks! What part of Ohio are you in?

[@daemonjeep]

@@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES central. Go to vinton County often.

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Nice ! Get down that way fairly regularly myself!

[@daemonjeep]

@@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES I got a buddy with property down there. Makes a nice Basecamp. Ever been to Campbell's tunnel?

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

I have not. Not heard of it. Something worth checking out I guess?

[@d.collier_8280]

How well does your vehicle charge your trailer battery

[@jdjeep46]

Wow, nice jeep and trailer!

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Thank you so much.

[@UncleJoeHikes]

That hovering bee is a YellowJacket Hover Fly aka Good News Bee. He will not sting you. I think the old saying is if you're are visited by one they're bringing good news.

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Wow that is kind of cool. I have never heard of that before. Thanks for sharing!

[@kennethwhite9797]

Nice build! I just picked one up Sunday. I really liked the ammo box connections. Might do that myself!

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Thanks! They are very handy for extra storage and lock onto the trailer to help insure stuff stays where it supposed to be.

[@RajKumar-rh8xo]

Nice traler

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

Thank you!

[@YouTubeMaster1611]

How do you get into the tub?

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

The lid is removable and items can be accessed all around depending on the size. Larger items like totes or cooler go in and out via the rear of the trailer where the largest opening is.

[@randomcitizen2384]

Usually one leg at a time but I prefer showers😊 it was a good question.

[@GREYBEARDS-ADVENTURES]

🤣🤣🤣 that is a clever answer.
